The novel on which the hit Hallmark series is based

Abby O'Brien Winters hasn't set foot in Chesapeake Shores in years. The small town in Maryland that her father built holds too many sad memories, and Abby has little time with her busy Wall Street career, her failing marriage, and her ever-moving twin daughters. But all it takes is a terrified phone call from her youngest sister to send her running home to help Jess realize her dream of restoring the charming inn in Eagle Point. Abby sincerely hopes that Jess sees through her smart financial advice before it's too late.

While preventing the inn from being auctioned off, she not only has to keep her own broken family together, but fate brings Trace Riley, the man she left years before, back in front of her. Abby hadn't forgotten what drew her to him in the past. He realizes that he has a much stronger bond with the Chesapeake Shore than he thought. Maybe Trace will stand in the way of realizing his plans - or prove that second chances can come in the most unexpected ways in life.

Sherryl Woods is one of today's most popular writers, and Chesapeake Shores has sold millions of copies and is a favorite among female readers worldwide.
